บท 10: Fake Goods
บรรณาธิการ: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lisa felt ashamed when she heard these words, but at the same time, she felt helpless.
At the same time, the more she looked at Wayne, the angrier she got.
Why was Wayne so useless?
Wayne looked at the people around him with a calm expression.
"Whether this painting is fake or not, Albert will naturally be able to tell when he comes over. He's a collector of antiques and famous paintings. Since you don't believe what I said, you should believe in his judgment, right?"
Wayne looked at John and asked, "How about that?"
John looked at Wayne's determined expression and suddenly panicked.
In fact, he had spent 300,000 dollars to buy this so-called famous painting from a so-called famous painting collector.
When he had bought the painting, the other party had repeatedly assured him that the painting was real.
Although John had some doubts at the time, he only thought that he had picked up a big bargain.
However, Wayne's current state made him panic.
Because he himself could not be sure if this painting was real or fake!
If Albert came over and his painting was discovered to be fake...
Then this time, he would really be disgraced!
"What are you guys discussing?!"
At this moment, a high-pitched female voice suddenly rang out from the banquet hall's entrance.
The crowd looked over and saw Audrey Jones, who was walking towards the banquet hall, and Albert Jones, who was following behind her.
Audrey was Albert's wife and also Wayne's mother-in-law.
Even though she was already in her forties or fifties, there was still a flirtatious look in her eyes.
When she was young, she was indeed a famous beauty with countless suitors.
Lisa and Vanessa's beauty was also inherited from her.
However, perhaps it was because of this experience that her personality was a little flamboyant and strong.
Even though Albert was the head of the Jones family, most of the time, he would favor Audrey's opinion.
After seeing Audrey, John pretended to be aggrieved and told her what had happened.
"Audrey, Wayne, that piece of trash, is really too much! How dare he slander me like this! I spent a lot of money to buy this painting, and I'm going to give it to Albert!"
Wayne's expression did not change when he heard this. He said, "What I said is the truth. This painting of yours is fake to begin with. Otherwise, you can let Albert see for himself whether this painting is real or fake."
"Shut up! What do you know?!"
Lisa walked to Wayne's side and pulled him back. She said angrily, "If you don't understand these things, then stop embarrassing yourself here, okay?!"
However, just as John had said...
How could Wayne possibly know anything about antiques and famous paintings?
Audrey Jones looked at Wayne with some disdain, then pulled Albert to the center of the banquet.
"John, bring the painting over."
"Let Albert see if this painting is real or not."
After Audrey Jones finished speaking, John's eyes lit up. He immediately took the painting and handed it to Albert.
Albert picked up the painting and began to look at it carefully.
After a few minutes, Albert raised his eyebrows. He first glanced at John, then leaned over to Audrey's side and whispered a few words.
After listening to this, Audrey frowned and looked a little unhappy. She glanced at John.
When he saw the look in Audrey's eyes, John suddenly panicked.
He understood that this painting was fake!
Lisa was a little excited when she saw the look in Audrey's eyes.
Could it be that Wayne was right?
This painting was actually fake?
Lisa was a little excited.
"Mom, is this painting fake?"
Lisa couldn't wait to finish her question, but Audrey shook her head.
"This painting is indeed Master Leo's work. It's the real deal."
When Audrey finished speaking, Lisa was not the only one stunned.
Even John was stunned.
Audrey Jones glared at Wayne and questioned, "Wayne, since you're a person who doesn't know anything, don't talk nonsense about paintings that you don't know at all! The Jones family has lost too much face because of you! You've tarnished John's reputation this time. Quickly, give him a toast and apologize! Otherwise, the Jones family will no longer welcome you!"
Wayne was stunned.
There was something wrong with the painting, and with Albert's eyes, he could definitely see the problem.
John was at a loss at first, but then he quickly reacted and became excited.
"Albert, Audrey, take a good look. This painting is really fake!"
Wayne wanted to explain clearly and tell him how he could tell that the painting was fake.
However, Audrey frowned and scolded him sternly, "Fake? What right do you have to say that this is fake?"
"Albert and I saw it clearly. This is the real thing. Do you mean that there's something wrong with our taste? If I tell Albert it's real, it's real!"
Audrey berated him and said angrily, "Apologize to John immediately!"
Her serious expression stunned Wayne.
